Through The Curtain

Through The Curtain

Through
Filmy curtains
I sense
The brush
Of my mother’s hand

Gentle
Not rough
As in life

Maybe
Making amends
I don’t know
We were not
Nearly as close
As we should have been

Certainly
She is shaping
My fate
Like hints of sunlight
Dancing in shadow

Close my eyes
Brush
Momma
Brush

One thought on “Through The Curtain

  1. The higher powers that be. God. Angels. However you choose to honor that which cannot be seen, but felt, like tickles down your spine or an unreleased sneeze, those moments when we are touched by the indescribable, give us great faith that beauty and reconciliation lie beyond death. Choose to let it in…let it in
